Poem of the Day - Part 15

 There is no Frigate Like a Book

by Emily Dickenson

The illustrations are bookplates created for those who wanted a picture of a naked man inside all of their books.

                There is no Frigate like a Book
                To take us Lands away

                Nor any Coursers like a Page

                Of prancing Poetry –

                This traverse may the poorest take

                Without oppress of Toll –

                How frugal is the Chariot

                That bears the Human Soul
